Correct option is A
Given:
a : b = 3 : 2
We need to find (7a + 9b) : (5a + 7b).
Solution:
The ratio a : b = 3 : 2 can be expressed as a = 3k and b = 2k, where k is a constant.
Substitute a = 3k and b = 2k into the given expressions:
7a + 9b = 7(3k) + 9(2k) = 21k + 18k = 39k
5a + 7b = 5(3k) + 7(2k) = 15k + 14k = 29k
(7a + 9b) : (5a + 7b) =
Thus, the required ratio is 39:29.
